What are the signs of nasopharyngeal cancer and what to eat

Nasopharyngeal cancer is treatable as long as everyone has a certain understanding of the disease, especially the symptoms of nasopharyngeal cancer. So what are the precursors of nasopharyngeal cancer? What is good to eat?

What are the signs of nasopharyngeal cancer?

1. Bleeding: It is mainly caused by the bleeding of the posterior nasal ligament or bloody nose. At the beginning, it is often a small amount of blood, which is easy to be ignored. When the amount of bleeding is large, the disease often enters the middle and late stages.

2. Headache: In the early stage, there may be headache, mostly on one side and intermittent; in the late stage, there is continuous severe headache, which is easily mistaken for neuralgia.

3. Swollen cervical lymph nodes: Neck lumps appear on one or both sides, are not hard, and have poor mobility, and are often mistaken for lymph tuberculosis or lymphadenitis.

4. Other symptoms: In addition to one or all of the above symptoms, there may also be symptoms such as nasal congestion, ear closure, tinnitus, numbness, diplopia, and dangerous droop. Advanced cancer is prone to metastasis to intracranial invasion and distant sites such as bones, liver, and lungs.
